Hi guys & gals,
I've *just* taken delivery of a new Samsung Galaxy SII running
Android 2.3.3
Baseband I9100XXKDJ
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKDJ-CL187606 [email protected]#2
Gingerbread XWKE2 build
I've successfully flashed the kernel of my previous SGS1 to root it using CF-Root via Odin.
I believe I'm looking for a KDJ version of the CF-Root, but can't find one.
Any help / pointers would be much appreciated as unrooted, the phone's just no fun! And I can't use my Titanium backup.
Thank you
Dave
No need to find KDJ or specific. Just find your PDA version and flash that kernel.
I hope you know how to see PDA version,

You may want to update to a newer rom, look in this thread, then select a correct version of CF root.

Hi guys
I've got a UK t-mobile samsung s2 and I just wanted to check which insecure kernel I should be using, I am planning to use odin and s2root
Carrier-Tmobile
PDA:i9100bokg2
csc:i9100bokg1
csci9100tmukf1
I looked on the carrier branded firmwares and could not find insecure kernals, only roms and stock kernels
Therefor I assume I should use xxkg2?
XXKG2
Firmware info
PDA:XXKG2
PHONE: XXKG2
Date: 12/07/2011

That's the link for the BOKG2 insecure kernel.
I too kit from Odia's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671.
You just have to flash that kernal via odin (PDA, no repartition).
If you're using s2 root app follow this thread's instructions to the letter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
That should do it. Good luck. Any doubts you can PM me.
EDIT: After you finish rooting to can download from the same Odia thread, the original BOKG2 kernel (just look in the thread), and flash it through odin exactly as you flashed the insecure kernel. Anyway, this is just optional, you can look at the s2 root thread, this is also explained.
Whats the password for winrar for the BOKG2 kernel ?
Hi! I want to remove simlock from my Galaxy SII but in order to do that i need to root my phone. The problem is that i can't find insecure kernel for my version which is BVKG8 (2.3.3.). What can I do now?
Would it be possible to change my software to android 2.3.5. (XXKI4) and then root it and remove the s-lock?
Flash an Insecure XWKDD kernel. Most traditional method.
Then follow this:

Hello,
Greetings from Romania! Monster resources around here! I've started this thread because I need help in understanding some things that are not (yet!) clear to me. So, please be patient with me.
I want to install an AOSP ROM (CyanogenMod or MIUI, still not decided) and before I start to customize my SGS2, I would like to ask you a few questions.
Here is the info for my unlocked and unbranded SGS2:
*#1234#
PDA: i9100XWKI4
Phone: i9100XXKI1
CSC: i9100OXFKE1
Settings->About phone
Android: 2.3.4
Baseband: i9100XXKI1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKI4-CL575468
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
So, here are my questions:
1. Does Phone=Baseband=Modem?
2. CSC is included in the firmware? If I update to XWKK2, will the phone work in my country (Romania: East Europe)?
3. What's the latest firmware? In this thread, it seems that XWKK2 is the latest. Is there a newer one?
4. The official Samsung firmware includes the stock ROM? If I update the firmware to XWKK2, will I have Android 2.3.6 Samsung stock ROM?
5. Is it recommended to update the current firmware of the phone before you start the rooting process? What are the benefits of updating the firmware?
6. Basically, is the Kernel independent from the firmware and can it be updated individually? As I can see, the XWKK2 stock Kernel can be downloaded separately.
7. Do I need to update also the Kernel to the latest version (XWKK2) before starting the rooting process? (Obviously, if I update the Kernel, when rooting according to Chainfire's guide, I will choose the correct CF-Root Kernel file: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip)
8. After I root the phone (CF-Root 5.0), flash an ASOP ROM, do I need to/is it possible to update the firmware as soon as a new one is available from Samsung?
9. Is it possible to remove that warning triangle with an USB Jig if I have XWKK2? Or do I need to follow Chainfire's instructions found here? Which method to use? What are the differences between these two methods, besides the custom ROM count reset that the USB Jig will do?
10. The ASOP ROM that I'll flash (CM, MIUI, etc.) will have its own Kernel? If so, then there's no need to update the stock Kernel to XWKK2 in the first place? Only update the firmware before the root?
11. If Chainfire releases a new version for his CF-Root, say 6.0, do I need to update/reroot so that I'll have the new versions for Busybox, CWM?
12. After the successful rooting of my SGS2 using CF-Root, I'll make a backup of my existing stock ROM using CWM. If I need to use the warranty, I'll restore the stock ROM using CWM. Will this action remove CWM, Busybox and the associated root access so that the Samsung Service won't know what I've done (of course, also custom ROM count reset using USB Jig)?
As you can see, what I can't understand, are the relations between Firmware, Kernel and ROM! Which one includes the other ones?
Thank you! I'll really appreciate all the help I can get!

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKI4-CL575468
Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
So, here are my questions:
1. Does Phone=Baseband=Modem?
YES = Modem sometimes called Radio and modems are interchangeable
2. CSC is included in the firmware? If I update to XWKK2, will the phone work in my country (Romania: East Europe)?
Yes if its Romanian firmware and CSC and yes if you enter network apn settings manually or flash a correct CSC .
3. What's the latest firmware? In this thread, it seems that XWKK2 is the latest. Is there a newer one?
KK5 latest in that thread .
4. The official Samsung firmware includes the stock ROM? If I update the firmware to XWKK2, will I have Android 2.3.6 Samsung stock ROM?
Stock = Samsung rom KK2 in the stock rom thread is stock .
5. Is it recommended to update the current firmware of the phone before you start the rooting process? What are the benefits of updating the firmware?
Really regards rooting to match latest firmware to latest rooted kernel
6. Basically, is the Kernel independent from the firmware and can it be updated individually?
No its part of the firmware the actual core if you like . Yes it can be updated individually from XDA .
As I can see, the XWKK2 stock Kernel can be downloaded separately.
7. Do I need to update also the Kernel to the latest version (XWKK2) before starting the rooting process? (Obviously, if I update the Kernel, when rooting according to Chainfire's guide, I will choose the correct CF-Root Kernel file: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip)
No flash stock XWKK2 first then root with KK2 root is the simple method .
8. After I root the phone (CF-Root 5.0), flash an ASOP ROM, do I need to/is it possible to update the firmware as soon as a new one is available from Samsung?
Custom roms are not always updated via Samsung firmware route as product codes do not match whats on the server .
10. The ASOP ROM that I'll flash (CM, MIUI, etc.) will have its own Kernel? If so, then there's no need to update the stock Kernel to XWKK2 in the first place? Only update the firmware before the root?
If you flash stock KK2 you are including KK2 kernel its always part of the package .
11. If Chainfire releases a new version for his CF-Root, say 6.0, do I need to update/reroot so that I'll have the new versions for Busybox, CWM?
Not really .
12. After the successful rooting of my SGS2 using CF-Root, I'll make a backup of my existing stock ROM using CWM. If I need to use the warranty, I'll restore the stock ROM using CWM. Will this action remove CWM, Busybox and the associated root access so that the Samsung Service won't know what I've done (of course, also custom ROM count reset using USB Jig)?
No as your backup includes the CWM rooted kernel .
Simple method is flash full stock firmware to remove root etc and reset custom rom counter .
As you can see, what I can't understand, are the relations between Firmware, Kernel and ROM! Which one includes the other ones?
ROM basically the full package PDA = firmware including kernel
Phone = modem CSC = country specifics
Kernel Modem and CSC can be flashed separately and changed from original .
KK2 firmware with KK1 Firmware KH3 Modem and CSC for another area is all possible .

Hi everyone, I have rooted and flashed my Galaxy S 2 to cyanogen mod, but need to restore the phone back to completely stock to send back to samsung under warranty.
I have found the XXKE4 rom on the roms page but there is two files that you can download the STOCK KERNEL (5.06MB) or the XEO (POLAND 254.25MB). Not sure which direction to take.
The details of the phone stock were:
Purchased from OPTUS Australia
Phone Baseband Version: I19100XXKE4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I19100XWKE7-CL215725
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Any help appreciated Thanks in advance!
Stock Roms are listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Details on how to restore are also linked to in that thread.
Did you bother to make a backup???
It is quite important.
Thanks for your help
